Networks are starting to cancel shows again, in preparation for new fall schedules. I'm sad to lose The Irrational and Night Court because they were charming. I sometimes watched Found too, but the melodrama was too soap opera-ish. They took most of the season to reveal that Jamie was not an impostor, for example, when they should have just done a DNA test.
Meanwhile, Poker Face season 2 has started, but I found the first episode with the quintuplets to be farcical and somewhat offputting. I know it's a pun on "the game is afoot" but it looks like she technically lost a lower leg, not just a foot, presumably in the car crash that killed her father. Maybe I'm not in the mood for the absurd farce, like I didn't enjoy Elsbeth's musical season finale.
I was sad to lose Shinwell on CBS's Watson, and I worry how the Moriarty plot will end in the finale. I have always found the twins gimmicky, though, so I wouldn't mind losing one of their characters. On Sherlock & Daughter, Moriarty turns out to not be in the Red Thread. It seems they are trying to overtake his criminal empire. Moriarty secretly runs the prison and enjoys luxuries like Dale the Whale does in Monk. He also has a lost son Dan, and wants Holmes to find him. I think Dan is the guy following Amelia, but we'll have to see what happens there. I think there are only 8 episodes total, so hopefully we'll get answers soon.
Edited to add: Oh I guess Shinwell survived on Watson after all. Strange ending on the finale, with the whole team agreeing to Watson's plan to kill Moriarty (even though John had just lectured Ingrid that they shouldn't fake promise a cure to Hannah's daughter). And the "2 weeks later" scene didn't reveal anything important about if Ingrid truly left the clinic for good and they hired that new recruit from a few episodes ago. Really puzzling and strange choices, but possibly the writers felt they needed to move on from Moriarty and do something new next season. We'll see, I guess.
